Being too ferocious because of caution

Chapter 686 Wife

Zhao Yi received Qin Zheng in the Tianwang Hotel.

He served Qin Zheng the best tea, and the dead soldiers beside them felt relieved a lot.

They know that this is not the enemy.

The two chatted while eating.

"You seem to be in bad shape."

Zhao Yi put the food on his plate and said casually.

Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said:

"In my current state, it's hard to hide Brother Zhao's golden eyes, right?"

He actually concealed himself.

It would be difficult for ordinary people to tell that he was ill.

But with Zhao Yi's current strength, Qin Bai's illness was clearly visible under his evil eyes.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Yi asked.

Qin Zheng held the chopsticks and hesitated to move. After being silent for a long time, he said:

"Brother Zhao can be understood as... a congenital genetic disease."

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows:

"Is there anyone in the Qin family?"

Qin Zheng shook his head.

"Only the head of the Qin family has it."

After he said this, Zhao Yi stopped holding the food with his hand, a slight look of astonishment on his face.

Immediately, Zhao Yi put down his chopsticks and waved his hand.

The dead soldiers left here immediately.

Zhao Yi looked at Qin Zheng seriously with strange eyes, as if he was looking at a monster.

"Are you now the head of the Qin family?"

The warm light illuminated Qin Zheng's calm face, carving delicate shadows.

"That was five years ago."

His tone revealed a deep despair and helplessness.

There is also a kind of self-deprecation.

While the young princes from the other three major families were still preparing to compete for the position of the next family patriarch, he had already become the head of the family.

But Qin Zheng didn't have the slightest sense of pride.

“Fate pushed me to a level that was not mine, and gave me responsibilities that I couldn’t bear at all. I tried hard to force myself to do better and be better, deceiving myself that as long as I worked hard enough, I could change my life... "

"But the heavy rain a few days ago woke me up."

"I suddenly realized that my efforts and struggles were of no use in the face of the established script that fate had arranged for me."

Zhao Yi took a sip of wine, tutted and said:

"It seems inappropriate for you to talk to an outsider like me."

Qin Zheng seemed very calm and calm.

"There is no one left in the family."

“Those who are trustworthy cannot be used, and those who are available cannot be trusted.”

"What choice do I have?"

Zhao Yi leaned on the back of the dining chair and looked level with Qin Zheng:

"Is this why you helped me fight for a place in Wu Jian?"

Qin Zheng sighed:

"Yes."

"The Qin family needs an outsider."

"Only an outsider can break the Qin family's current embarrassing situation."

"Everyone knows it, but they don't dare to admit it, and they are unwilling to do it. This will tear off the Qin family's last fig leaf."

"No one can bear this shame. No one dares to do this thing that is sorry to the ancestors of the Qin family."

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"It sounds like you want to pass on the position of head of the Qin family to me."

Qin Zheng said seriously:

"Will you want it?"

Zhao Yi:

"Won't."

Qin Zheng was stunned:

"Why?"

Zhao Yi:

"Not interested."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

But Qin Zheng smiled bitterly.

"Am I doing something stupid and ridiculous?"

Zhao Yi shook the wine glass in his hand and said slowly:

"Don't encourage others to do good without suffering them."

"I don't know what kind of difficulties you are facing, so I am not qualified to evaluate what you have done."

"But it seems to me that you are a courageous man."

"From this point of view, we are more similar."

Qin Zheng sighed and slumped in his seat, smiling tiredly:

"I have a story, do you want to hear it?"

Zhao Yi raised his glass slightly and smiled:

"I have wine, do you want to drink it?"

Qin Zheng took Zhao Yi's wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The spicy taste overflowed his throat and he swallowed the knife into his stomach.

"Actually, I should have come to see you two days ago. Due to some personal matters, I was delayed for two days."

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows and said:

"What private matter?"

Qin Zheng said:

"marry."

Hearing this, Zhao nodded:

"It's a big deal, so I should delay it a little bit."

Qin Zheng tried his best to narrate calmly, as if he were a person in the drama trying his best to be a bystander.

"The girl is dying."

"Before you die, be a bride once more."

"Want to have a drink with me."

"Watch me lift off her... red hijab with my own hands."

His hand holding the wine glass was shaking violently.

The deliberately calm tone could not cover up the sadness in his eyes.

A few words seemed to have used up all his courage. Qin Zheng buried his head, covering his forehead with one hand and grabbing his hair, making his whole body tremble.

"That night, she hugged me to sleep."

"My body is as cold as ice."

"How I want to go with her...but I can't."

"Because my life is hers."

"My life...is hers."

Every time Qin Zheng said something, he would pause for a long time.

Zhao Yi poured a glass of wine.

"I can tell."

"Now you are surrounded by the aura of death. You should have been a dead ghost. It is a weak ray of life that has been protecting your lifeline and allowed you to survive."

Qin Zheng closed his eyes and breathed hard.

"We are a family marriage."

"Four years ago, in order to suppress the disaster in me, she sacrificed thirty years of life to me."

"I got sick again a while ago. Those disasters can no longer be suppressed, and they are coming more quickly. She has sensed it..."

At this point, Qin Zheng felt dizzy and covered his head, trying to calm down the grief in his heart that was rushing like a river.

His breathing was vibrating.

In a daze, the faint sound of that night rang in my ears again.

Those were the last words his wife Jiang Suran said to him before she fell asleep:

"elder brother……"

"Just do what you want to do."

PS: Third update.

I'm too sleepy, brothers, go to sleep first!

Keep up the good work tomorrow!
